Katie Price Splits From Fiance Leandro Penna

The 34-year-old model and reality star, who became engaged to the 27-year-old Argentine model last April after almost two years of dating, has confirmed they have split.

Katie and Leandro, who met at the Oscars in 2011, say they are parting ways amicably.

In a statement on her official website, Katie writes, “Leo and I have had a lovely fun time for a couple of years, we will always feel deep affection for each other, but sometimes relationships just run their course.”

The glamor model also revealed the long distance relationship was tough on them.

Price adds, “Pressures of work on different continents, natural demands of family ties, and careers, have meant we have spent a huge amount of time apart even when we were in the same country. This meant it was difficult for the relationship to move forward.”

Katie, who has been married twice previously to Peter Andre and Alex Reid, was spotted at the premiere of the James Bond flick “Skyfall” with 19-year-old “X Factor” contestant Dan Ferrari-Lanes but said the timing of her split is just a coincidence.

She insisted her interactions with Dan are “entirely innocent and platonic”.

Katie Price insists she will stay friends with Leandro and that his next girlfriend will be a very lucky girl.
